Lailamara, No, I havn't mentioned Jumper's name because I lost him back in February. He was outside and was chased into the highway by a coyote raid and was hit by car. I honestly wept for him, and I still miss him. I still have his vet' things in the 'frig. He was a character of a pet. Yes, Blue and Bluzette is the same kitty.
I'm thinking that Jumper will be replaced with my two Abyssinian- mix orange tabbys. There is something in the self-survival about an Abyssinian (mix) that must be constantly be guarded against, because all my furkids survived the raid, -except Jumper. They all went on the roof for safety, but Jumper apparently tried to outrun the raiding party, and was subsequently hit by traffic on the highway, of which there is very little. It seems as though there has to be in place several factors simultaneously in play in order for any of my furkids to be killed on the highway!. I should have never let him outside that day. What a price to pay for that stupid decision.
My newly adopted Amy tuxedo kitty has done a lot to help relieve the missing of Jumper. I think that is one of the (subconscious) reasons I adopted her. As with the loss of any pet, aside from the regret, there must be a replacement almost immediately otherwise one can become overtaken by their own grief, especially if they only have one or two furkids. Right now my original indoor 9 has swelled in number to the indoor "13" , and I truely love them all. This is the reason I'm so fussy about letting any of them outdoors any longer.
